Precariously clipping the first bolt atop the five meter bamboo ladder creates the first crux on this part of the wall! At the moment there are no direct starts out of the cave below this section of the wall. Future climbers may unlink these routes but for now this primitive start is required to enjoy the limestone above.

Nautod ("broken") Wall rises about 20 meters above the jungle floor producing extreme overhanging routes (seen in the foreground), claimed to be the most difficult in the Phillipines, up to 5.13, and longer, steep moderate/difficult routes (5.8 - 5.11) on the main wall. Bamboo ladders are used to span the cave section below the main wall.
